Cyclists have every right to use the road. But drivers don’t always treat them that way. If you were hit by a car while riding your bike in Anderson, Belton, or near Anderson University, you may be facing serious injuries, expensive medical bills, and weeks, or months of recovery.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured cyclists get compensation after a crash. Whether it happened on a city street, a highway, or in a neighborhood, we’ll investigate your case, deal with the insurance company, and fight to get you what you’re owed.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Most bike crashes happen because of careless or distracted drivers.
We handle cases involving:
- Cars turning in front of cyclists at intersections
- Drivers failing to yield or stop at crosswalks
- Drivers drifting into bike lanes
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Dooring (when a parked car door opens into your path)
- Distracted driving (texting, GPS, etc.)
If your crash happened near Main Street, Highway 81, or a residential area in Anderson County, we’re ready to help.
Bicycle Injuries Are Often Serious
Cyclists don’t have the protection of a car. That means even low-speed collisions can lead to serious and long-lasting injuries.
We represent victims with:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Head trauma and concussions
- Spinal injuries and nerve damage
- Road rash or skin abrasions
- Shoulder, wrist, and knee injuries
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death cases)
We work with doctors and specialists to document the full extent of your injuries and how they affect your life.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If a driver caused your injuries, you may be entitled to:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Physical therapy or rehabilitation
- Lost wages and loss of earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress or anxiety
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Bicycle repairs or replacement
- Funeral costs (for wrongful death claims)
We’ll handle all contact with the insurance company, so you can focus on recovering.
What If the Driver Blames You?
South Carolina uses a modified comparative fault system. That means:
- You can still recover damages if you’re less than 51% at fault
- Your compensation will be reduced by your share of responsibility
We collect evidence to challenge any false blame and protect your right to full compensation. Bicycle accident cases can be more complex than car crashes. Police reports are often biased. Insurance adjusters minimize cyclist injuries. We don’t let that happen. We represent clients in Anderson, Powdersville, Belton, Williamston, Honea Path, and all of Anderson County.
